I only work with charities / non-profit making organisations, and my pricing reflects that. 

Let's chat. I offer fixed pricing for bespoke projects and longer term contracts. I'm not promising, but we may be able to find a solution that works for us both. 

No, never. And I'd strongly advise you to reconsider if this is an option you're exploring, as it can be very complicated - and expensive. 

Errr, I dunno?! Seriously, I don't know. I can and never will offer a guarantee of fundraised income. What I will do, is guarantee to honour my company values and work in accordance with the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice.  I will provide realistic advice, deliver a high standard of work, and will not work with you if I don't believe that I can produce a good result. But beyond that, I can't promise anything else in this unpredictable fundraising world.

No. As a Sole Trader, I'm not eligible to register with the Fundraising Regulator. 

Not currently. I haven't found membership to be a worthwhile investment for my business or my clients.

The rate covers my time, experience and expertise, as well as my holiday pay, sick pay, pension, insurance, taxes, and other costs incurred with running this business, including subscriptions, training or conferences I attend to ensure I'm up to date on fundraising legislation and trends. I am not VAT registered, and so rates are inclusive of VAT.  

Invoices are sent on or around the 28th of the month for work completed in the 4 weeks prior.  Payment terms are 14 days, and a late payment fee will apply, and any ongoing work will be paused, if payment is not received within the payment term.   

I will consult with you throughout the project to avoid any surprises. If I can complete the work more quickly, your invoice will reflect this. Likewise, if I think more time is needed, I'll let you know ASAP. 

I always suggest four week's notice for each party. This will allow time for tying up loose ends and preparing handovers etc.  ​
